It was a myth that tourists were told for decades, pop= ularized in a best-selling 1947 novel, that the graceful wild ponies of Vir= ginia’s Chincoteague Island came from a shipwrecked Spanish galleon= =2E

Or was it? A new DNA analysis of a 450-year-old horse molar fou= nd in a Spanish settlement in Hispaniola shows close matches to the Virgini= a ponies, made famous in Marguerite Henryȁ= 9;s Misty of Chincoteague=2E
